Marco D'Amico also spoke on the subject. According to his info, we're talking about a four- or five-year deal… but he too is talking about a potential announcement today.

Interesting stuff.

The Canadiens and Mike Matheson have made progress on extension talks of late.

Could come to a head earlier today. Heard the term was between 4-5 years.

Announcement could come as early as today.

Does this mean that negotiations have made good progress recently? Yes, and it's also likely to mean that they've been going on behind the scenes, just as the Canadiens wanted.

Remember that Kent Hughes was his agent when he signed for eight years in Florida in the past.
